Managing uncertainties with PetroMod software

Petromod open simulator

Calculate user-defined output functions beyond the default simulator output

Overview

Petromod Open Simulator enables petroleum systems modeling specialists to develop user-defined plug-in functions for Petromod software's simulator during or after the simulation to replace standard models by their own functions or to add new models to the simulation. Additional input parameters and output overlays can also be generated and taken into account.

Applications

The first phase of Petromod Open Simulator was released with Petromod 2016.2 with a focus on accessing Petromod software’s output data. New output overlays can be calculated and added to the Petromod software database. These can then be visualized in Petromod software’s 1D, 2D, and 3D viewers.

Overlays can also be written in new formats for additional processing in other tools. Potential applications of this capability could be creating new overlays such as seismic velocities, oil densities and viscosities, maximum temperatures, or new maturation markers. The plug-ins are coded in Python.

Benefits

Create user-defined Petromod software overlays.
Seamlessly link to decoupled in-house postprocessors.
Execute external postprocessors directly from Petromod software.

Features

Petromod petroleum systems modeling software combines seismic, well, and geological interpretation to model the evolution of a sedimentary basin. Simulations in Petromod software help to predict pressures and temperatures, as well as assess if, and how, a reservoir has been charged with hydrocarbons.

The simulations also predict the timing of hydrocarbon generation, migration routes, quantities, and hydrocarbon type in the subsurface and at surface conditions. Petromod software provides a standardized user interface across the entire 1D, 2D, and 3D modeling workflows. The same simulator is used with all technical features and tools available and identical in all dimensions, ensuring full compatibility.
